TPT welcomes report on PIP and ESA

Feb 9, 2018

“The House of Commons Work and Pensions Committee has today released the first volume of its report on assessments and decision-making around Personal Independence Payment (PIP) and Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) – PIP and ESA assessments: claimant experiences.

This report draws upon a record amount of evidence submitted to the inquiry. It tells claimants’ stories and strongly supports the evidence submitted by Thomas Pocklington Trust (TPT) in our joint submission with RNIB – evidence of far too much unacceptably poor quality in assessments and decision-making. The Committee’s second volume, setting out its recommendations, is due next week and TPT will be adding our voice to the call for change”.
